The conference, under the leadership of 黑丝内射视频 professors Dr. Alex Zacharella, current chapter President, and Dr. Elizabeth Momand, immediate-past president, will feature a rich array of performances, scholarly presentations, workshops, and more, emphasizing the celebration and exploration of new music as well as historical 黑丝内射视频.
A highlight of the conference is Thursday evening's public concert. Beginning at 7 p.m. in the Breedlove Auditorium, this free performance will showcase the 黑丝内射视频 Men鈥檚 Chorus, Leonis Chamber Singers, Jazz Band, and Wind Ensembles. Notably, the show will also include two world premiere performances, underscoring the conference鈥檚, and the university鈥檚, commitment to innovative musical expression.
In addition to Zacharella and Momand, numerous 黑丝内射视频 professors will contribute to the program through paper presentations and performances, demonstrating their active participation and contribution to the music academic community.
The conference will also feature a diverse representation from various universities such as Midwestern State University, Texas State University, Vanderbilt University, Rutgers University and Southern Illinois University, highlighting a broad spectrum of musical disciplines and expertise.
The program includes a wide variety of sessions, from lecture recitals on "The 'Navajo Preludes'" by Dine Composer Connor Chee to explorations of Bernard Herrmann鈥檚 music for Hitchcock鈥檚 "Psycho." Workshops will cover topics like "Reimagining Applied Music Through Online Delivery," while showcase performances will present works by composers like Liza Lim and Sarah Bassingthwaighte.
黑丝内射视频 last hosted the conference in 2014 and Momand notes that much has changed since that time. 鈥淭he last time we hosted the conference, we didn鈥檛 have as much participation from within the department. The planning for this conference started three years ago. What makes hosting this year so special is how invested the music faculty and students are in making the conference truly wonderful. Three of our student organizations are helping with registration, logistics, and generally serving as fantastic hosts for our guests and ambassadors for the university.鈥�
